OT: Book characters you want to see on screen....

[Comeds]

One thing I didn't like with Norton as Lionel: Norton always looks smart. And Lionel is supposed to look dumb. I also envisioned Lionel as sort of a hulking brute, don't know if that was in the book or not but that's what's in my mind's eye.

After watching Repo Men tonight, I think Forest Whitaker would be great in the role. He's already got that nervous tick thing going on, tourettes wouldn't be much of a stretch for him. He's got the physical presence. No real reason Lionel couldn't be black.

Inspired casting, really.

I think of the beginning of The Score where Norton acted mentally challenged and that why I think Norton would be good. Honestly I cannot remember Lionel's size, I seem to remember him being strong.

There was a report of Norton changing the time from the present to the 40s in his screenplay. I wasnt happy about that but I guess it really doesnt matter that much.

Whitaker would be fine, hes good in just about everything he does.

Yorick from Y The Last Man....

Joseph Gordon Levitt or Emile Hirsch would be good. No Shia please.

Norton is atop my list of favorite actors.

Fight Club is stuck with you too huh?

He was great in that. Thought he was even better in The Score with DeNiro.

Good news on the Dark Tower adaptation front...

Awesome, can't wait. I still haven't finished the series yet. I still see Daniel Day-Lewis and Viggo as possible roles as Roland.

That's a pretty big commitment and undertaking. Sounds cool.

Just finished 'Wizard and Glass'. Probably going to take on a different book before I look at wolves of the calla.
